What Is the Morning After Pill?

Emergency contraception works by delaying or preventing ovulation, reducing the chance of pregnancy. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible.

We provide two options:

1. Levonelle® (levonorgestrel)

• Effective up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex
• Works best the sooner it’s taken

2. ellaOne® (ulipristal acetate)

• Effective up to 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected sex
• Suitable for a longer window and may be more effective closer to ovulation.

Your pharmacist will help determine the most appropriate option based on your situation.
